I find it funny how some seem to believe that paying for a premium device and premium hardware isn't going to get you a premium experience but somehow getting a cheaper experience>premium, I fail to see the logic. Also VR has been the talk on PC for a good number of years, for consoles it's only had some talk when Morph was leaked and only more recently when it actually was given a name, some demos and a look at the product.



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.

Obviously PC.

Please, let's be honest for once. Not only is the PS4 too weak to show VR in satisfying quality when you have normal HD games as reference, but there's just so many PC gamers all over the world who invest in high-end hardware.

34% of steam users run games in 1080p.

PS VR potential sales ?

So one year from now there will be 7 million VR-devices sold for PC, while the PSVR install base is less than 3 million.

I will remember this statement.

Someone on here posted a link to a PC based VR headset or software perhaps, which showed all the ''compatible'' games. The list was actually impressive featuring some of my all time favorite games like Alan Wake, Alien Isolation and F.E.A.R.

Its that link / software was legit, color me impressed.

http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/

39.16% of steam users run games in 1080p or higher. That are 60 - 70 million PC systems.

And if you count all active PCs together which use Steam, no matter if they are desktop PCs, notebooks, netbooks or windows tablets, we can do the same with all active consoles (7th gen and 8th gen home consoles and handheld consoles):

"Less than 20% of console users (including PS4, XBO, WiiU, PS3, 360, Wii, Vita, 3DS, PSP, DS) run games in 1080p." ;)

I'm personally seeing a few people argue almost the opposite.  

There are a couple of challenges with the last part of it.  

The difficulty with quantifying the "cheapness" of an experiences is that there's not really this objective measurement to determine quality.  For VR, visuals are fairly important, but refresh rate is considerably moreso.  

PSVR: 120 Hz

Oculus/Vive: 90 Hz

Does that extra 30 Hz make a more substantial difference than the added PC power, and the higher resolution headsets of the PC? For some people, the answer will probably be no.  And for others, it'll be a definite yes.  That's simply because of the nature of the headsets.  It often happens that people get motionsick if the headsets don't refresh quick enough.  For most people that line is about ~87Hz from what I understand.  But for others, it could be higher.  Some people might find the "premium experience" to be nausea inducing, and for some people terribly terribly so.  While they find that "cheaper PS4 experience" to be fantastic.  

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=199063858&postcount=3118

Basically the experiences are not premium vs cheap.  There's a few things that the PC headsets are much better at (resolution, graphical detail), and there's a few things that the PS4 headset is much better at (refresh rate, more comfortable, cheaper).  For a lot of people those PSVR advantages are far more important than those PC advantages.  That's a really big reason why it's hard to quantify one experience as being premium, because there's a big mix of better and worse on both.  

Yeah it's never black and white but it's not like anything on the PC matters though.

If Amazon sold 3 PSVRs and ran out, that's not an impressive picture.  So we don't know how many Amazon got yet.  

There are reasons to suggest that it'll do better on PS4 vs PC, but these are not them.  

It's 2nd in whole video games department, ranked higer than PSN gift cards etc.

And?  

We don't know how well Oculus is doing in comparison.  (It isn't tracked by Amazon, because Amazon doesn't sell them yet.)

Well, if one needs only to sell 2-3 units to be ranked 2nd on amazon US - i will agree with u.

I dont consider XBO a 1080p video game console, the most demanding titles in that regard usually runs 900p/dynamic res. Yes, there are a lot of titles like Rocket League, but this is lower tier graphics-wise.

Inclundind Nintendo here was sneaky one. The lads never carried about graphs, in Nintendo world graphicis is for girls yo

I'm a Steam user, I run games at 1080p on my laptop, although they run at 30fps or below cause for me native display res >>> fps.
I drive around at 10 to 15fps on planets in Elite Dangerous Horizons in 1080p, not gonna drop the resolution.
Can I play VR games on that, not a chance in hell.
